Here’s some good news: District Dogs will be opening Nov. 18 at 3210 Georgia Avenue NW, the old Petworth Liquors. The liquor store was a bugbear for neighbors for years with public drunkeness, public urination, customers harassing passersby and more. It finally closed when the owners, the Zuckermans, refused to renew their lease.
The new spot is really nice looking, too — new paint and more.
District Dogs is a pet-sitting, boarding, doggie day care center and pet shop, and they’re opening next Friday. They’ll be hosting an open house event all day there with a 10% discount off retail items and free light refreshments.
Nice to see some new retail on the Georgia Avenue strip — I hope we see more.
Here’s more from them:
We’ve been talking about it for months and we are thrilled to announce that District Dogs’ brand new brick-and-mortar space at 3210 Georgia Avenue NW has cleared the final hurdles and will be opening next week! Read on for details about our open house celebration and the official start dates for daycare and boarding services.
Our mission is all about helping busy owners provide excellent care for their furry family members and we look forward to bringing you the same level of thoughtfulness and attention you expect from District Dogs in a whole new environment. This new facility features separate play areas for large dogs and small (or senior) dogs, private feeding space, and a retail boutique stocked with necessities as well as thoughtful gifts and treats for dogs and dog lovers alike.
Join us Friday, November 18th from 9am till 9pm for an open house to celebrate our new space. Humans and dogs are invited to check out the new facility while enjoying light refreshments and a 10% discount on retail items purchased during the open house event.
We will begin taking daycare clients on Saturday, November 19th and for our first couple of weeks, we will only be taking daycare reservations. Boarding reservations will be available starting Thursday, December 1st.
As a reminder, all dogs need to complete a two-hour evaluation before they can officially be registered for daycare or boarding services. This evaluation is complimentary and consists of a play period during which our staff can observe your dog play and interact with others. Not sure if daycare is a good fit for your dog? Check out our recent look at the benefits of daycare and schedule your evaluation today!
